Give It Up
One On One Crew Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm steady glancin' at the clock, it's almost time for the weekend
I grab my iphone, post a status for my friends
Send a text before the day's end 'cause I ain't tryna stay in
Turn up the music while I'm fixin' my hair
Callin' my girls, where we go I don't care
I got a half a tank of gas and I'm hopin' that it last
Turn it up, turn it up like we don't care and we can
Live it up, live it up and go anywhere and watch us
Shake it up, shake it up, the vibes in the air, air and
Live it up, live it up, we gonna live it up
Jump in my automatic, feelin' sparatic, already had it
Wit' the 9 to 5 it's tragic and proble, proble ma-ma-matic, matic
System overload and blastin' my stereo
The temperature is rising so I drop the top to expose
My energy is out the box, man, I can't seem to stop when
Everything about my life is blessed and oh, so evident
You can take away the lights, shut the cameras down and I
Wouldn't even care 'cause all my homies goin' out tonight
Turn it up, turn it up like we don't care and we can
Live it up, live it up and go anywhere and watch us
Shake it up, shake it up, the vibes in the air, air
Live it up, live it up, we gonna, gonna, gonna
Turn it up, turn it up like we don't care and we can
Live it up, live it up and go anywhere and watch us
Shake it up, shake it up, the vibes in the air, air
Live it up, live it up, we gonna live it up
Here we go, we'll take you around the globe
You can be a top model or stuck in a cubicle
From here to Tokyo we gonna make it hot, hot
This feeling is nonstop so show me what you got, yeah
Here we go, we'll take you around the globe
You can be a top model or stuck in a cubicle
From here to Tokyo we gonna make it hot, hot
This feeling is nonstop so show me what you got, got
Turn it up, turn it up like we don't care and we can
Live it up, live it up and go anywhere and watch us
Shake it up, shake it up, the vibes in the air, air
So live it up, live it up, we gonna, gonna, gonna
Turn it up, turn it up like we don't care and we can
Live it up, live it up and go anywhere and watch us
Shake it up, shake it up, the vibes in the air, air
Live it up, live it up, we gonna live it up

Amazing how these tracks can take us back to a moment in time.
djmpd1992
top tune love this track
houzbizness303
As mentioned below it's a shame this never got a 12" release. There's probably a big chance this could have been a bigger track if some names of the time (although I can't think who this would suit) were brought in on remix duty.
mike bott
thanks for uploading had this tape format back in day.
DOPEDOGTOPDOG
quite an interesting one, really, original rotating rythm, driving bass , and that upper synth part !!! , piano part has its own groove but it could have been more abstract
BearorBust
Haven't heard this in so long.
houzbizness303
No Problem. Thanks for the thanks.
houzbizness303
Thanks. Just a shame it never got a proper 12" release.
